Description
The Plasencia Cosecha 146 is an exclusive blend of tobacco from Placencia's 2011-2012 harvest. This harvest or cosecha marked the 146th harvest of the family’s inaugural tobacco crop of 1865. The leaves are grown in the best regions of Honduras and Nicaragua to produce a unique flavor profile – the result of blending the crops of two great tobacco countries. Plasencia Cosecha 146 is a medium-bodied, full-flavored cigar with a complex and sweet taste thanks to its wrapper, harvested in the pure Honduran lands of the Jamastran valley.

Initial Thoughts:
Over the last year or so, we’ve smoked and reviewed almost every Plasencia cigar we could get our hands on. And today, we’re diving into the Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto, a cigar meant to commemorate the 146th crop the Plasencia family planted in Nicaragua.
After taking the Cosecha 146 out of the cellophane, I immediately thought the cigar was very well made; it looked amazing. I was also greeted with a very fragrant cigar that smelled of wood and cedar. The v-cut provided a nice draw with a cold draw that might’ve had a tiny hint of citrus.
In the first third, the flavors are spicey with lots of cedar flavors. And, after the cigar heated up, the draw became a little tight.

Final Thoughts:
The Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto is a pretty good cigar. While I didn’t like the Cosecha 146 La Vega as much as the Plasencia Alma Fuerte, I did like it much better than the Alma Del Campo.
There were nice complexities in flavor with both sweetness from the Nicaraguan tobacco tempered with the smoothness of the Honduran filler tobacco, but with hints of spice from the Honduran Habano wrapper. The burn was even, but the draw was a little tight.
Overall, the flavors were really good. In the final third, the flavors became more smokey and roasted as opposed to the cedar I tasted earlier in the cigar. I enjoyed the Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto, and it earns a CigarScore 5.
